Laura Bradford

Denver Police Sgt. Benita Packard, who omitted critical facts in the DUI stop of former Colorado Rep. Laura Kay Bradford, has agreed to accept a demotion to the rank of patrol officer in the face of termination.

Police in Denver initially said they thought that as a lawmaker Rep. Laura Bradford was entitled to a certain level of immunity. Why is there legislative privilege? Watch Alan Gionet’s Good Question report.

New documents related to the January 25 DUI stop of Rep. Laura Bradford show she altered her story to police about how much she had been drinking, and a Denver cop said he kept quiet about what happened.

In a nutshell, while Republican State Rep. Laura Bradford reportedly wanted to be treated like anyone else when she was pulled over, she’s perfectly fine with special treatment from her colleagues, and is not above holding the GOP’s majority hostage to get it, CBSDenver.com blogger Dominic Dezzutti writes.
